hi, i’m hk —

i’m a theatre artist, designer, yoga practitioner and witch.

My pronouns are they/them. I’m a white, jewish, non-binary, chronically ill, artist, designer and intuitive practitioner. I’ve had many lives and many practices, all of which are a part of me. I’ve worked in almost every corner of the entertainment industry in an out of the spotlight. I’ve had the honor of working on award winning shows and presenting on panels about gender and identity.

Art, yoga, tarot and design may seem disparate, but I see a common thread of essential understanding in them. All of these practices cultivate a keen sense of inquiry. Whether it comes from the images on a tarot card or in the process of writing a play. They all require a type of presence that is hard to come by in our dominant culture. I’m interested in understanding the Self and how we can stay connected as we move through the world.

I hold a BFA in Drama from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, where I studied acting at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting and the Experiement Theatre Wing. I also studied Shakespeare in Performance at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London and Commedia Dell’Arte in Florence. I co-found BITCRUSHER, a digital theatre collective with the mission to make theatre accessible by streaming plays online. I have directed plays at the New York International Fringe Festival, Dixon Place, Prelude Festival and the John Drew Theatre Lab. My work has been featured in Variety and the New York Times.

I co-created the fiction podcasts A World Where and The Mueller Report: A Radio Dramatization, which have collectively accumulated over 100,000 downloads.

I’ve practiced yoga since I was 15 years old. My relationship with the practice is complicated and I imagine a future where all people, especially people of marginalized bodies, can prioritize their physical autonomy and wellbeing over the obligations of capitalism. I facilitate yoga classes and offer tarot readings from a desire to share tools for inner reflection and understanding with my community. I am a Registered Yoga Teacher at the 200 Hour level.
